Stayed here last night with my daughter. Have previously stayed with my husband. Great location with lovely staff. Cheap and cheerful. Nice big bedrooms. Very clean. Bed was super comfy, plenty of toiletries and lovely little touches like bottles of water , crisps , biscuits aswell as the normally tea and coffee. Unfortunately all the restrictions were in place so no pubs and bars were open so we just had an Uber eats delivered to the hotel. My daughter loved it.

I can't recommend this place highly enough, the rooms are very high quality and very well equipped down to free bottled water, crisps, biscuits and tea and coffee. There is soap, shower gel and shampoo. We stayed in a 5* hotel in Mexico last year and honestly the quality of the rooms were not much different. The Cairn is short walk from Princes Street and there is a bus stop at the end of the road. For the price this is a no brainer, we will definitely be going back.

Considering how close this was to the city it was excellent for £45 a night. The rooms weren’t big but beds comfortable enough Nice little bar there and WiFi so couldn’t complain at all. I would certainly use this hotel again Good attentive staff

The hotel is a 10/15min walk from the centre which is fine if you dont mind walking, we arrived and checked in without a problem, the corridors had a musty smell about them, the room was spacious enough but had an overwhelming smell of pee when we went inside. Also the room was cold no heating on. The beds were comfy even though the "large" bed was 2 singles pushed together we had an awful view of a walled area full of rubble and surrounding flats looking down into, a net curtain was up but still not ideal. Due to covid no bar/restaurant open which meant a small paper bag breakfast brought to the room between 7-8am, but the first morning the people only came walking into start at 8am?? the first morning we only got 2 breakfasts, there were 3 of us, and only 2 sets of clean towels left after the room had been cleaned. I did tell them this and it was rectified but the excuse of oh maybe only 2 people on the system wasn't good enough when my booking obviously said for 3 guests. We will stay more central next time but the hotel was OK for our base.…

Dear Dooby 57, Than you for your valuable feedback. Our sincere apologies for the unsatisfactory experience you had with us. Although I do not accept certain comments you have made, we do care about the comments. If there was any unhappiness about the room, we encourage our guests to mention them at check in. Which will give us time to rectify. The heating in the room works on a regulator at the radiator in the room. Which allows the guests to adjust according to their liking. We are a budget 3 star property and not all the rooms have great views. Windsor street is a residential street and there are residential properties in neighbourhood. We offer great rates for our guests and we have repeated guests visiting us. We apologies for the inconvenience caused during your stay. We thank you for you feedback once again. Kind Regards Kannan Nair General Manager
